(had to remove those a while ago! haha) But I admit, I am using a bundleme (which I know some say is unsafe) but I haven't gotten around to figuring out the blanket situation just yet. I think I may just need to remove the Bundleme and dress baby in a sweater with a blanket on top until he is ready to transition to the convertible in a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1259234 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:49:26 +0000 Cchoi4 1259234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: he is chunky but oh so short! haha. thanks for the recs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258834 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 11:15:11 +0000 danda 1258834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious - do you have a Keyfit 22 or 30? Have you removed both the insert and the headrest? My 5 month old is around 16-17 pounds right now and she's ok in her Keyfit 30 but would scream every time I strapped her in until I removed the head support (newborn insert removed at 11 pounds). Also not sure what you're dressing your LO on but make sure to not put any puffy clothes on under the car seat straps as a general car seat safety principle. It's gotten cold here and I put her in normal clothes plus a hat, then strap her in, then put a thick blanket snuggle around her such that she can't pull it over her face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258792 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 11:08:00 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1258792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ermagerd so much chubbbbb.

We could have done it sooner. By the time he sat up well on his own at around 5 months, we stopped taking the chicco car seat out the car. We used a stroller or sat him in a high chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258105 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 08:01:00 +0000 MamaChin 1258105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had him in the stroller while I carried a basket instead of a cart if I was by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258100 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 07:55:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1258100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore her and by five months she was sitting up well on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258088 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 07:44:02 +0000 ValentineMommy 1258088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to transition to the convertible carseat at 6 months cause our DS was so big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258083 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 07:33:10 +0000 looch 1258083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely used the infant bucket outside of the car, I found it to be a pain to carry and my son was never sleeping in there anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258031 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:39:45 +0000 BabyMats 1258031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following because G is 16lbs and almost 4 months as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1258027 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:34:00 +0000 loveisstrange 1258027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was 17lbs at 4 months and 21lbs by 6 months, she is also VERY tall. She started sitting unassisted at 5 months. </p> <p>We actually didn't move her into a convertible until 9 months, but that was more procrastinating because I couldn't decide what one I wanted. I mostly just wore her in the Ergo until she could sit.</p> <p>PS. I LOVE our Graco My Size 70 convertible. If he's tall like my girl, it's perfect. Chicco NextFit was the runner up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1257952 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:41:38 +0000 sarac 1257952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having trouble commenting because I'm so in awe of your adorable chubby baby. Baby chub forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1257947 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:36:54 +0000 Penny Lane 1257947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never carried LO around in the car seat. i either wore him, or had him in the stroller. at 4 months I could strap him into the stroller tight enough that I just put him the the normal seat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1257944 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:34:08 +0000 immabeetoo 1257944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned at 4 months because LO was so heavy in his carseat. I just wore him in the boba, and I think around 5 months he was steady enough to sit in the cart if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1257911 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:08:45 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1257911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following ... My LO is chubby in the extreme and at 6 weeks already breaking my arm in his seat at 13 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-young-fat-baby#post-1257837 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 22:25:44 +0000 Cchoi4 1257837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4 months old, can't sit by himself yet but is already 17 lbs and looking quite squeezed in his chicco carseat. It doesn't help that its become quite cold here in chicago, which means thicker clothes for the LO.</p> <p>I am looking into getting a convertible carseat for him but am curious what other moms of young chubby babies do. If you get a convertible, what do you do when you are out and about...carry the baby or baby wear everywhere? (i.e. grocery store) </p>
